All 46 survivors found in coal mine
All 46 coal miners who were trapped in the Zapadnaya Kapitalnaya mine walked to the main shaft, the rescue operation headquarters has said.
The 33 miners who were found first were in touch with the group of 13 people trapped in another area of the mine.
The miners will be lifted to the surface in the so-called "inspector's cage [elevator]." They have not been lifted yet for technical reasons.
